wireless switch?

[BertCoombes]

Chaps,

Situation: Want to switch on garden light from upstairs kitchen. There is no way of taking a wire from the kitchen switch to the garden. Do any of you know of a way of doing this via say a wireless contactor?

It must be switched from a normal wall light switch.

thanks

there is no way of getting a wire

Assuming this is a mains powered light how does it get its power and how is it switched on and off now.

Mains powered lights. It is not there yet.

Thanks. It looks like the switch has to be screwed off to replace the batteries. Is that so? Can a transformer be used instead of batteries?

It works with batteries. To convert to mains operation you would need a fully rectified DC power supply. Difficult to do indoors but a non starter outside.
Also probably you'd invalidate the warranty.

Changing batteries every couple of years isn't much of a chore.
